codeai-lash-11-09-09.JPG

If you have seen all the commercials for  the prescription Latisse and wanted to try it but don’t want to hassle with visiting your doctor just to check it out. Have no fear there is another great lash boosting serum on the market and no prescription needed! I was sent a sample of Code.ai Lash Extend Serum L-117 and it really is a great product.

I was a little skeptical about putting something so close to my eyes but after reading all about the product my fears were relieved and after applying for the first time I saw how easy it was. Code.ai Lash Extend Serum L-117 completely clear formula glides easily along the lash line like eyeliner and takes just a few minutes to dry. I simply let is set and continue my routine eye cream treatments and makeup. Once its dries there is no flaking or irritation I completely forget it’s there. The serum is hypoallergetic and paraben-free lipo-peptide complex that boosts cell’s natural productivity levels, safe even for the most sensitive users.

On top of no irritation after the last few weeks of use I am noticing my lashes are definitely longer and they are starting to thicken. You have to put in the time to get results but you will be happy once you do, just a few short weeks to fuller longer lashes!

Code.ai LASH EXTEND SERUM L-117
LIPO-PEPTIDE AMPLIFYING COMPLEX
WITH MYRIPLEX TECHNOLOGY™

Combat sparse, short, or damaged lashes and help boost the appearance of your own natural set of lustrous lashes. code.ai’s Myriplex Technology™ contains 30% unique lipo-peptides. Unlike water-soluble peptides, lipo-peptides are highly biocompatible with skin’s natural structure. The result is the enhanced appearance of naturally darker, stronger, thicker, and more plentiful lashes.

This instantly cooling formula is packaged in a first-of-its-kind for Kiehl’s – a compact stick that allows the treatment to gently and easily apply to the under eye skin, an area that requires careful attention as the skin is less resilient than other areas of the face and body.

Featuring energy boosting Arctic Root adaptogen plant, known to survive in extreme conditions, Caffeine to minimize puffiness, and Hibiscus Tea known to improve skin hydration, these natural ingredients work together to revive and awaken tired eyes.

Key Formula Attributes:

• The formula helps reduce under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue
• Immediate refreshing, cooling sensation upon application
• Portability
• Long lasting hydration
• Lightweight, non-greasy texture will not creep into eyes

Key Ingredients:

Arctic Root
• Also known as “Vitality Elixir” with its ability to help reduce signs of fatigue
